Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo apologises for sulky behaviour

The Portuguese winger was seen snatching his tracksuit from Alec Wyllie and throwing it to the ground after he was substituted by Sir Alex Ferguson. Earlier this week, The Sun reported that Ronaldo's conduct has attracted a significant level of criticism with past United players warning him about the lack of respect he appeared to be showing towards his manager. Former United striker Dwight Yorke said: 'When you look at what is happening at United — going for the title and in the Champions League final — everything is great. 'Then you get someone behaving like that. 'To throw away his tracksuit top and huff and puff is uncalled for and out of order, there is no need. 'The manager will not be happy. He is the manager, he makes the call. 'You can go and see him in his office if you have a grievance but to act like that in front of millions of people will offend Sir Alex.' Meanwhile, a Premier League spokesman has confirmed that the trophy will be at Old Trafford this weekend as celebratory plans are already in place should United clinch the one point they need to lift their 18th title. A presentation ceremony has been mapped out for the lunch time kick-off allowing United to show off their prize in front of a home crowd. 'The trophy will be there – we'll make sure of that,' the spokesman said. However, should United lose to Arsene Wenger's side the following weekend there will be a trophy at Anfield and Hull's ground where United play.
